2. WHAT IS ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING?
Is a costing methodology that identifies activities in an organization
and assigns the cost of each activity with resources to all products
and services according to the actual consumption by each.
This model assigns more indirect costs (overhead) into direct
costs compared to conventional costing.
ABC as an approach to the costing and monitoring of activities
which involves tracing resource consumption and costing final
outputs.
3. HOW ABC SYSTEM IMPROVES COSTING PROCESS
It expands the number of
cost pools that can be
used to assemble
overhead costs. Instead
of accumulating all costs
in one companywide
pool, it pools costs by
activity.
It also creates new bases
for assigning overhead
costs to items such that
costs are allocated on the
basis of the activities that
generate costs instead of
on volume measures
such as machine hours or
direct labor costs.
ABC system alters the
nature of several indirect
costs, making costs
previously considered
indirect such
as depreciation,
inspection or power are
traced to certain
activities.
